The movie is a nice one time watch; much more of a mystery thriller than horror.
What I liked most about the movie is it depicts religion. How 'devout' religious men are the most dangerous and merciless people.
Firstly the Christians want to raid a village just because they are supposedly worshipping some other God. Then Sean Bean knowingly takes the plague to the village. The Christians murder the whole village which never did anything wrong. And lastly that weasel monk becomes a witch hunter and wrongfully murders many women just because he couldn't get laid.
I know the movie is not a real story, but I think it accurately depicts the lunacy of religion.
For the movie as a cinematic experience I rate it 7/10; for the depiction of religion 9/10.
